    Did it Atlast....

    At last i have finished my 2 player chess game...... I have attached it check it out.. All the move validations,, check, check mate etc etc has been done..


    TO move a piece. first select the pawn or whatever by clicking the left mouse button on it.. To place it move the cursor on top of that block and press that right mouse button..( Please note nothing will happen if that move is not a valid one...)

    Well the only thing left is validation for stalemate and castling....

    Well here is a challenge.. let me see if anyone of you can find any validation bug or any other bug in my game...( badly need testers..)

    and also please post you coments to improve my game..

    *Runs back to program AI to make it single player...*

    To exit the game press any key ont the keyboard( use mouse to play).
    You need to extract al the files to run the game...

    Doesn't seem to work in XP

    It starts, displays a brown text message on the screen and hangs.

    ahh, i got it.. i think you should light up possible moves for a piece, or atleast light up a piece when it's selected. i played once to try it out.. got the king cornered where he was safe at that spot, but couldn't move anywhere else, because it would put him in check, so the game didn't actually win.. just stopped on black's turn good work... i lost tho

    Yes, en passent is very much a standard chess move that would need to be included (sorry! )

    A little history, to speed up the game, chess was changed to allow pawns to move two squares on their first move (they only used to be allowed one square). So that this double move wouldn't be taken advantage of by bypassing an advanced enemy pawn, en passent was also incorporated to keep the game as close to the original as possible. So in no way would it be considered a bad or unethical move, if anything the person who tries to avoid the advance pawn to begin with is the one stretching the rules!

    Is en passant the move that is also known as 'castling'? Where you move your rook inside of the kings position.

    No, en passent is where a player moves his pawn up two squares side by side with an enemy pawn. The opponant can if he chooses take the pawn as though it had only moved one spot - but he must do it on the very next move or else forfeit the right.

    I think you could do a little better on the color of the pieces. Even if you're limited to 16 colors some masking and shifting of those 3 bytes can still give you the best-bet for a certain color.
